The 'West Country'. It is
only when you look at the history, topology; and the towns and villages
of the West Country, that you realize just what a truly wonderful,
diverse place it is. So welcome to my virtual tour of the Towns, and
Villages, of the part of our Country, we know and love as the 'West
Country'. An area which encompasses the legendary, and historical
county of Cornwall, with it's quaint coastal Towns, and Villages, and
wild rugged coast. The beautiful green rolling countryside, and seaside
resorts of Devon. The gentle welcoming hills, wildlife, and scenery of
Somerset. And last, but by no-means least, the ancient jurassic coast
of Dorset. I am aware strictly speaking Dorset does not fall under the
auspices of the West Country, but Dorset is such a beautiful historic
county, it is after all: 'Hardy Country.' I felt in all honesty, I
could not leave it out. Yes the West Country, is the favorite
destination for millions of visitors each year. And they do not confine
their visits to the summer months. For today more, and more people are
taking Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter holidays; and more and more
people are choosing to spend a quiet traditional Christmas here in the
West Country. Personally I think Autumn is a particularly wonderful
time of the year to visit, and see the hues of the flora, and forna
change as they prepare, for the onslaught of winter. Why not join them
this year? and enjoy a busy, vibrant, fun filled Summer holiday, or a
quiet invigorating Winter break, here in the beautiful, historic 'West
Country'
